8.

Movers needed to move a heavy box from the bottom of some stairs to the top of the stairs. They placed a ramp over the stairs and pushed the box up the ramp.


Which best explains why the movers used a ramp to move the box?

a)

The ramp reduced the amount of

force needed to move the box.

b)

The ramp increased the height that

the box needed to be moved.

c)

The ramp reduced the distance that

the box needed to be moved.

d)

The ramp increased the amount of

friction needed to move the box.
